Major League Lacrosse Responds To Jay Z

Hov knows lacrosse? On Khaled’s new single, Jay raps: “Haters wanna ball, let me tighten up my drawstring/ Wrong sport boy, you know you soft as a lacrosse team”. Major League Lacrosse caught wind of the lyric and challenged Shawn to 60 seconds on the field. Don’t want no one minute man?

“Lacrosse is often called the fastest sport on two feet. Players are on the field dodging and shooting balls at over 100 miles per hour. With that said we don’t think Jay-Z knows what he’s talking about when he calls Lacrosse ‘soft’ I can guarantee you it is anything but a ‘soft’ sport. Mr. Carter would not last one minute on a lacrosse field during a match and he is more than welcome to come to any of our games and try.”

so cause they stood up for themselves their butt hurt? that’s not even what jay meant tho

alex

I disagree, lacrosse isn’t one of the big 4 or 5 primetime sports in the u.s (if you count nascar) what do they lose by responding? Fans?

Michael Ibbett

Haha…I was gonna say he cant even rap normal lines anymore…but then I remembered, lacrosse, the native American sport truly isn’t all that soft

yorapper

Lacrosse way tougher than ball. It’s basically like hockey, you can check and fight.

Michael Ibbett

Word, the same people that were scalping the pilgrims, didNT play soft sports….especially comparing it tho basketball

jimj87

it was a lame diss I get it lacrosse is considered a Canadian sport and you wanna throw shots at drake but this one was weak cuz ppl been saying drake’s soft since 2010… and that song is lame
You’re the so called “G.o.a.t” couldn’t find something more original?

TeRRiola

nas could of lol

smoss44

you need to stop thinking about drake

How is lacrosse considered a “Canadian sport”?? Never heard that one, It was invented by American Indians and is pretty damn popular in most all East Coast major universities! This is where the stretch comes in of people attempt to analyze ever Jay-Z lyric as a dis towards Drake now, and vise versa. #JUSTSAYIN

BigBen

jay always talking about shit he knows nothing about

el jim chapo guzman

The owners of Canadian hockey arenasinvented a reduced-size version of the game, called box lacrosse,

pretty sure jay was referencing the fact that lacrosse is a white ppl sport and that white ppl are generally soft. soft as in not bout that life not soft as in dont have balls

Peekay

‘soft as is in not bout that life’? Which life, the one where he’s living in his $10 million+ penthouse, doesn’t have to lift a finger and can buy anything he wants? FOH! White people are soft? Explain, cuz you sound racist.

PTK

racism never has and never will have anything to do with a black person calling a white person “soft”.

Matthew Morgan

Sigh once again fellas it’s n just entertainment

Peekay

Says the guy who’s going on tour with his wife. This guy is so out of touch with what’s ‘hard’ these days. Basketball is ballet compared to lacrosse

NAS

Hove can’t even run a mile without stopping with his out of shape ass… He to busy doing old folks stuff vacationing and all that rich shit . shouldn’t of said that lacrose is soft, ha

Nathaniel

it’s just a rap lyric, niggas. damn. and why the hell would jay z (who doesn’t play lacrosse) go accept a challenge to ‘last on the field.’ nigga prolly don’t even know the rules. it’s JUST a rap lyric.

Lol @ Nathaniel. Niggas get truly in their feelings when you talk about HOV. Yooooo calm down, he’s just flesh and blood! Yak panties be gettin knotted like shit!

tim

It’s because lacrosse is seen as a ‘white rich privileged’ sport. The kids are “soft” and drive their parents Land Rovers….
